So happy to have found you - Level77 - 11-14-2017
Hello everyone..
I hope I don't come off the wrong way but I am in such a bad situation right now that I am over emotional and beyond stressed. I can barely type without getting teary eyed and wanting to break down.
I'm a young father to 1 girl, 5 years old. I have been in Michigan for over a year now coming from the LA area hoping to start a new life here. I did get a decent job when I got here but the company was sold to some Indian buyers and in a year they ran it into the ground. This was just a few months ago and so I have been in between jobs now trying to maintain. I saved up enough money to be able to buy a car, at first I had to ride my bike or walk or Uber to work for several months.. Luckily I was able to purchase a cheap little Escort that was good enough to get me from point A to point B. The problem is that I did not expect this car too last very long in the first place.. But I also had no idea that I would end up being let go from work like a third of us were. Only those with seniority were kept with the company and it could not have been worse timing.
My car is leaking oil and making horrible noises.. I know it will not last much longer at all. I had an interview a couple weeks ago and actually got the job offer. Now my problem is that I have become so indebted that I am on the verge of being evicted and if I cannot come up with rent soon I will end up having to live out of my already unreliable and tiny car with a 5 year old girl when Winter is here already.. This job pays pretty decent and I HAVE to accept the offer and start working before I end up even deeper in the hole.. The issue is that this position is about an hour and a half commute from where I am now. If I am not able to come up with a decent amount of money to pay my debts and hopefully get some work on this car done then there will be no way for me to take this job that I DESPERATELY need..
This job does not start until November 27th, I need to make it til my first paycheck and right now I have absolutely no money to my name. I cannot even afford groceries at this point and have run out of everything.. I have not been able to feed my daughter a decent meal in almost months and have had to eat canned food and all sorts of crap just to make sure she is healthy and happy.. She is all that matters to me and I cannot stand thinking about living out of a car in the winter or putting her through homelessness all because of her father's situation.. I have absolutely no one to depend on or rely on.. I have no family here but here and what family I do have has their own struggles which makes it impossible for them to help me in any way..
Please.. Anyone who is willing and able to donate even just a little bit of money.. I am in desperate need of help. I just need to be able to survive until I can get my first paycheck or two from this job and get back on my feet.. I am a kind person who has wronged no one and is always trying to go out of my way to help others.. But it seems like any time I need help there is absolutely no one I can turn to.. Your kindness would be so greatly appreciated and is so desperately needed. I have not been able to sleep well at all and having to take care of my daughter makes it so difficult for me to take up any part time work because I have to pay for someone to take care of her and on top of my bills and everything it is near impossible to make that money stretch..
I just need to enough money to get me through the end of this month and help me maintain until I get my first paycheck when I start this new job on the 27th.. If you think you can donate or help me in any way then please let me know.. I am so stressed out and sick from worrying that I can't even focus on anything. You have no idea how heartbreaking it is to have to look my daughter in the face and tell her everything is fine when she can sense that things are not fine at all.. I cannot put her through being homeless and I cannot lose her. I want to give up on life and have had so many bad thoughts about ending it all but I HAVE to stay strong for her if not for myself.. Somebody please help me I cannot take this anymore and I am cutting it so close.. Thank you all of you and God bless you
